Re: CK Action Shots. - Planemad - 08.11.2010

SO just thinking aloud here, but maybe is should be called The Great War Simulator - Or First World War Simulator

But I do really like the Sound of Canvas knights as the title :mrgreen:

Some WWI British dazzle painting designs our ships had S.S. in front of them :-? Shouldn't it be HMS unless its a merchant ship :-?

as well as Persons, Battles and a lot more!

Re: General WW1 Info - Planemad - 10.11.2010

Your right Cnopicilin Dazzle Camouflage was invented by Norman Wilkinson a British Artist

Norman Wilkinson (Wikipedia Page) Wrote:He decided that, since it was all but impossible to hide a ship on the ocean (if nothing else, the smoke from its smokestacks would give it away), a far more productive question would be: How can a ship be made to be more difficult to aim at from a distance through a periscope? In his own words, he decided that a ship should be painted "not for low visibility, but in such a way as to break up her form and thus confuse a submarine officer as to the course on which she was heading

SO there you have it Cnopicilin a little research goes a log way :wink:

Um... Benge, I'm sure this thread is for General WW1 Info and also it is in the Canvas Knights section - Which is for the upcoming Canvas knights game.

But a interesting fact, none the less
